June 2018
I’m sorry to have to let you know of the death of Elwyn Davies. Elwyn was a member of the Disabled Ramblers from 2007 to 2013. I only met him once or twice and remember that he was always cheerful. He is pictured on the ramble we did for Countryfile on Offa’s Dyke.
On 16th June 2018, The Western Daily Mail said,
DAVIES Elwyn Peacefully in his sleep at home, in Llanspyddid Brecon, Elwyn David, affectionately known as Elwyn The White House.
The dearly beloved husband of Jean, loving father, a dear bampa and great-bampa.
Elwyn will rest in Maelgwyn Funeral Home until the service on Monday 25th June 2018 at Llwydcoed Crematorium, Aberdare, 3pm. Donations if so desired for Air Ambulance, kindly received by Doug Prosser, Maelgwyn Funeral Home, Brecon, LD3 9AY.
———————Elwyn was really proud and bragging about his £6 purchase of a florescent waterproof jacket from ALDI or LIDL. He was chuffed to bits. That same day on Dartmoor by Okehampton Camp at lunch time there was a hail storm and he got absolutely drenched. He wasn’t at all pleased. Elwyn was involved in the creation of the book of rambles for the disabled in the Brecon Beacons with English one way round and Welsh the other way round. It was out of print last time we enquired last year. He could never leave his scooters alone.He was always taking them apart to see how they worked and half the time he couldn’t get them back together and working again. Lovely man who will be sadly missed by those who knew him. Linda & Peter
